Ivana Shein is a second generation Canadian playwright and actor with a classical education in drama.  She moved to Los Angeles with a focus on an acting career where she made connections with the producing, directing and writing insider community. As a result of those relationships, people started to ask her to read their work, which led to coaching and being recruited to get writers to start the work, rewrite the work and complete the work. Her students have been incredibly successful, and she holds their relationship to a classical standard, with Aristotle’s Poetics being her North Star.
